Takao-san

  • Now it is a golden week (a cluster of holidays) in Japan.

    高尾山


    Today, I climbed at Takao-san in Hachioji city.
    今、日本ではゴールデンウィークです。

    The mountain is only 599 meters high, but it is located not far from the center of Tokyo, a lot of people visit there.
    今日は、八王子市にある高尾山を登りました。

    There are about five climbing routes, and almost all of them take one and half to two hours.
    標高599mの比較的小さな山ですが、都心から近いこともあり、多くの観光客が訪れます。

    Since there are also cable cars and lifts, you can arrive at near the mountain’s summit easily if you use them.
    ルートは5つほどあり、総じて1時間半〜2時間程で山頂に到達します。

    Although it was the first time for me to climb at this mountain, I chose a relatively hard route.
    ケーブルカーやリフトなどもあり、気軽に山頂付近まで行くこともできます。

    However, I was really terribly tired because I haven’t do exercise recently.
    私は初めてでしたが、少しだけ険しいルートを選んでみました。
